===== From the summary + logs, there are clear safety rails: =====
* Error/Integrity checks If decode errors, mismatched sizes, or suspicious corruption show up more than a tiny threshold, the hook can: - Log it - Fail that path - Or fall back to an uncompressed / pass-through mode.
* Thermal & power guardrails It monitors temps, power draw, and performance. If compression/decoding stress pushes the GPU outside conservative limits, it can back off.
* Performance sanity checks If compression makes things slower than a defined “acceptable penalty,” it can selectively skip compressing certain tensors or disable itself.

All of that is there so that from the outside, your system either:
* Runs faster / with more effective VRAM, or
* Silently behaves like normal CUDA if something isn’t right.
